A father walking with his young child was killed by a small aircraft that crash landed along a Florida beach, police say.
The pilot and his passenger in the 1972 Piper Cherokee could not make it back to the Venice Airport and sent out a distress signal before attempting to land on a beach near Venice, according to Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
They were uninjured during the 2:45 p.m. rough landing, but a man walking with his daughter was killed. It's not clear if he was hit by the plane or debris, Wendy Rose, a spokeswoman with the Sheriff's Office, told the Daily News.
The little girl was airlifted to All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg in critical condition.
